Virtualization is a big wave today. Earlier we had mentioned Virtualization: A boon in hetergeneous computing environment. Here we discuss about different virtualizations that have huge potential to shape our future.
Virtualization of Server:
Classically, server has been run on one operating system- be it a proprietory such as Windows. Mac Os or open system such as Linux and applications running on them have been accordingly customised. In practical terms server virtualization means that different operating systems and the applications that run on them can now be managed on a single machine -or set of machines. The virtualization software manages the computing power available in highly flexible manner against operating rules designed to optimize the use of capacity.
Important implications of Server Virtualization
- Server virtualization basically converts the computing engine from a rigid to a highly flexible resource. It makes it much more able to respond to a rapidly changing environment without loosing productivity targets.
- Computing engine has now transformed into more open resource than earlier designed framework of tightly coupled products and processes.
- As a consequence, new computing paradigm has emerged in which processes can be coupled and de-coupled (loosely coupled) in flexible manner. This enables us to deliver both agility and productivity demands.
